Apple 0% financing....

[Feirny]

For a 13" Laptop? Am I missing something?

Nope, I need the RAM and display. It's going to get some serious hammer.

 

[Rob]

And what m8.

LOL!

Why did you go such high spec anyway greggles? You were looking at £1228 or something the other day?

 

[GiT]

Are they really that good - these retina displays? 16GB and i7 in this tower - 2x 24" Acers... daft fast.

I've got a 27" iMac too, but needed a laptop for work and mobility.

I'm going to be editing video again very soon so decided to go for this and can work on it at the same time. It came in at just under £1500 anyway.

 

[GiT]

What program you using for editing?

 

[Feirny]

FCP.

Was going to ask if you'd gone back to le video. Good stuff. Well worth it at £1500

I'll take some paid jobs to offset the cost too, did it with my camera and it worked nicely.

Is 0% still running?

 

[DannyR]

I believe so

 

[Austin-182]

No

 

[Lozza-p]

The education store links don't work anymore, anyone got a link that works?

 

[DannyR]

Isn't there a link at the bottom of the Apple Store page?

 

[Lozza-p]

Yes, But there was a link on here where you didn't need to be a student to get the discount

 

[DannyR]

You just select something out of 3 options, it's fairly obvious when you do it as it explains each one, one can only be done from inside the college, one is high school and the other needs no proof.

Those 3 options aren't there any more as they have redone the whole education store and the old links no longer work.

The direct links in from "inside the college" provide a higher level of discount too.

Wonder if you could hook onto wifi at a local university and that would work?

 

[Jack!]

Can't believe the modifying the URL loophole was allowed to go on so long, Apple must've known about it. I got my most recent MBP that way, will be disappointing when I come round to next buying one though.

 

[Paprika123]

There are new links...you just gotta find them

 

[BatFastard]

For anyone wanting to get legit student discount at places....

1. Buy a crappy language course off Groupon or a Groupon like website. I bought this one for a tenner http://www.gogroopie.com/deal/cqxcm...QzVbhAx9w0KqmVQIYTDrQ8Evlk20kOAzkCUh3BRhsLIZD

2. Sign up to an NUS extra card (£13) and select ecareers as your institution.

3. Congrats! You're now a student and have a discount card. You can now get half price Spotify, 15% off Apple and at everywhere else that offers a discount.

 

[Addicted]

Ah, so Apple discount works via NUS number rather than email address? (The Amazon Prime Student edition required a Uni email domain for it to work).

Didn't know that!

Sure does! What you have to do is login via the NUS website which will then give you a personal link. Or just the NUS card in an Apple store.

 

[497adam]

anybody know if apple will run 0% again?

 

[DannyR]

Yes at some point, I thought it was still available on 12 month purchases though

 

[497adam]

Cant seem to find it on website

 

[DannyR]

Just looked. Look like they don't do anything under 24 months

 

[497adam]

Will have to keep an eye out

 

[Ricardinho]

normally after the back to school student thing finishes

 

[N0ddie]

Surely a 0% on purchases credit card is an easier solution to this? Can get a card with 0% for 23 months if you wanna spread it over that long.
